Installing DocView

DocView is installed on a SCO OpenServer system using the
standard scoadmin package manager. If it is not installed when the
operating system is installed, you can follow these instructions to
install it when logged onto the system as user
root.

DocView requires certain packages to already be installed on
the system:

Perl

Apache with mod_perl

Once the prerequisite packages are installed, you can install
DocView as follows:

Start the scoadmin manager and select
the Software Manager.

Select the item for the operating system, such as SCO OpenServer
Desktop System. Expand it by double-clicking on it, or
selecting
ViewExpand

Then expand the following selections:

SCO OpenServer Desktop System UNIX
Utilities
Extended Utilities

Select DocView Documentation Server.

Select
SoftwareInstall New
from the menu.
Then follow the standard process for selecting the
media and installing the package.

Installing the package puts the files in place and configures
the DocView webserver. It should also automatically
start the webserver. See also the section below on starting and stopping
the server.

Once the server is started, you should be able to browse the
documentation by clicking on the "DocView" icon.
You can also just point a browser at:

http://localhost:8457

NOTE:
In order for the search system to work, the search index must
be generated on the system. The search index is not generated during
installation because it takes significant time and disk space. See
the instructions in
``Administering a DocView server''
for more information.
